Victoria's eyes went wide as she looked at the ceiling corners.
She had forgotten about the security system installed last month.
The high-definition cameras recorded the entire pool area in detail.
Mark grabbed his tablet computer off the wooden kitchen counter.
He pulled up the live feed recording from twenty minutes prior.
The clear video showed Victoria grabbing the teddy bear viciously.
It showed her throwing the toy into the deep pool water.
It showed her pushing little Lily into the water from behind.
Mark held the screen right in front of Victoria's face.
Father: Look at what you did to an innocent eight-year-old child.
Victoria: Turn that off right now!
Father: This video will stand in court as clear physical evidence.
Victoria: I was just trying to teach her a simple lesson!
Father: You put my daughter in serious physical danger out of greed!
Lily sat on the soft couch watching her father stand strong.
She felt safe knowing her father was protecting her fully.
Mark tapped his phone to call the local police department.
Victoria rushed forward trying to grab the phone away.
Mark stepped back easily and kept his arm held high.
Father: Do not touch me or come near my daughter again!
Victoria: Please do not ruin my life over one mistake!
Father: Pushing a child is not a simple mistake, Victoria.
Victoria: I will pack my bags and leave right now!
Father: You are going to wait right here for the police.
The front doorbell rang loudly through the high-ceiling hallway.
Two police officers stood outside on the covered front porch.
Mark opened the heavy door and invited the officers inside.
Father: Thank you for arriving so quickly, officers.
Officer: We received your emergency report regarding child endangerment.
Mark handed the tablet with the footage over to the officer.
The officers watched the video footage with stern expressions.
Victoria backed toward the hallway stairs with shaking hands.
